Bug#699808: tech-ctte: syslinux vs the wheezy release
or:
* apply the following tested and working patch from #699742 in
debian-installer, consisting of this ('trimmed' output rather than
full-diff):
---snip---
+if [ -e /usr/lib/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 ]; then \
+ mcopy -i$(TEMP_BOOT) /usr/lib/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 ::ldlinux.c32; \
+ mcopy -i$(TEMP_BOOT) /usr/lib/syslinux/libcom32.c32 ::libcom32.c32; \
+ mcopy -i$(TEMP_BOOT) /usr/lib/syslinux/libutil.c32 ::libutil.c32; \
+fi; \
---snap--
note that it is needed for wheezy+1 anyway, and even
should be considered anyway for wheezy in order to allow using
building stable images with syslinux backports (as needed for some
people for better hw support, and specifically for future syslinux
uefi images; similar as to which e.g. changes to debootstrap for
stable+1 are desireable in stable).
that way:
* unstable remains usable for the maintainer to do work even during
freezes, not effectively 'freezing testing *and* unstable but
without freezing unstable technically'.
* keep experimental 'free' to use for experimental syslinux 6.x with
UEFI support.
